#DD WRT V24 HOW TO HOW TO#

Let's call that WRT54G the secondary.ĭHCP does not work between the DHCP server in the primary and the DHCP clients in computers connected to the secondary in this configuration with V24. The other WRT54G is connecting to the primary in 'Client-Bridged' mode. The following assumes it has the default IP address 192.168.1.1. To enable wireless bridging between two WRT54Gs, one WRT54G has to be in AP-Mode (Wireless > Basic Settings). (Editorial Note: Also see Example further down this page for a better documented but lengthier procedure with some unnecessary steps.) On the computer hooked-up to that client router Change the default IP address of the router and setup networking parameters Segments connected via Client Mode Wireless cannot share a DHCP server. Since the computers within the different subnets cannot see each other directly, this requires the enabling of NAT between the wireless and the wired ports, and setting up port forwarding for the computers behind the local wireless device. Contrast this with Client Mode Wireless, where the local wireless device running DD-WRT connects to the remote router as a client, creating two separate subnets. You could use a Wireless Bridge to transparently connect computer(s) in one room to computer(s) in a different room when you could not, or did not want to run an Ethernet cable between the rooms. Since the computers are on the same subnet, broadcasts will reach all machines, allowing DHCP clients in one segment to get their addresses from a DHCP server in a different segment. The two segments will be in the same subnet and look like two Ethernet switches connected by a cable to all computers on the subnet.

Wireless Bridging is used to connect two LAN segments via a wireless link.
